Question

Find the slope of the line whose equation is 9x + 5y = 1

Answer 1

Answer:

− 9/5

Explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

-9/5

Explanation:

rcept.

Knowing this, we need to convert our equation into that form to find our m.

9x + 5y = 1

We subtract 9x on both sides:

9x + 5y - 9x = -9x + 1

5y = -9x + 1

Now we multiply by 1/5 on both sides:

5y * 1/5 = (-9x + 1) * 1/5

y = -9/5x + 1/5

Therefore, the slope of the line is m = -9/5
